Guild Wars 2

After I hit that jumpy pad, 80% of the time I die in midair. Lol.

It’s a bug I’ve also encountered. It considers you to be “in the acid” instead of on the pad. Only method I know to avoid it is to wait a second or two and then jump on it.

That happens all the time in the acid and the rapids, which is part of the reason why I don’t like either 1-3 or 2-1. Even when you think you’re jumping just right for it not to hurt you, it’ll hurt you anyway if you stick in it too long.

The server is registering your hitbox as running forward. The jumpy pad has a slight delay on your hitbox for whatever reason so you end up dying to the swamp water because the server didn’t register it correctly.

Oh so is it me lagging or is it just a bug with the pads itself?

Lag and sub-optimal design. There needs to be a slight delay on effects of stuff like poison water and the rapids so the server’s checking against the position the player actually reached rather than where the server thinks they dropped to after a moment of lag stops “player is moving to X location” packets briefly.

I actually noticed that it ONLY kills you in certain spot in air. If I steer slightly right of the usual route of that jump I make it safe 100% of times. Dunno what is causing this, but it’d be nice to get a fix for that (Not that I need one, others do :P)

It seems to happen to me more if I use the right side of that pad. Sticking to the left side I’ve not encountered the bug.

It’s the pads. My ping is like 60 and I still get those BS deaths.

This one’s my favorite, unfortunately it’s also very poorly lit.

Had gamma up, the in game screenshots bypass your settings.
